Diet & Lifestyle Advise

If your child has been diagnosed with a calcium and phosphorus deficiency, following the below dietary and lifestyle recommendations is crucial. Additionally:

Monitor Progress: Regular check-ups with your paediatrician are essential to monitor your child's progress and adjust treatment plans if necessary.

Maintain a Balanced Diet: A consistently healthy diet rich in calcium and phosphorus sources are vital for long-term management.

 

Diet:

A healthy diet rich in calcium and phosphorus is the primary way to prevent and manage deficiencies in children. Here are some key dietary components:

Calcium-Rich Foods:

  • Milk and dairy products (yoghurt, cheese) - Fortified options can be a good choice.
  • Leafy green vegetables (broccoli, spinach, kale)
  • Calcium-fortified foods (cereals, plant-based milk)
  • Small, soft-boned fish (sardines with bones)
  • Tofu and tempeh (soy products)

Phosphorus-Rich Foods:

  • Meat, poultry, and fish
  • Eggs
  • Dairy products (milk, cheese, yoghurt)
  • Whole grains (oats, brown rice)
  • Nuts and seeds (almonds, sunflower seeds)
  • Beans and lentils
Lifestyle:

Vitamin D: Ensure adequate vitamin D intake, as it helps the body absorb calcium. Sunlight exposure (with sun protection) or supplements can be helpful.

Physical Activity: Regular weight-bearing exercises like walking, running, or jumping can promote bone development.

Limit sugary drinks and processed foods: These can hinder calcium absorption and contribute to unhealthy eating habits.

 
Additional Considerations:

Age-Appropriate Portions: Children have different dietary needs based on their age. Consult a paediatrician or registered dietitian for guidance on portion sizes specific to your child's needs.

Food Allergies/Intolerances: If your child has allergies or intolerances to certain foods (e.g., lactose intolerance), discuss alternative calcium and phosphorus sources with your paediatrician.

Supplements: In some cases, a paediatrician might recommend calcium-phosphorus supplements such as Ostichip Syrup to address deficiencies, especially if dietary changes alone are insufficient.
